The Five Pillars of Islam

Are five basic acts in Islam. These are summarized in the famous Hadith of Gabriel.

The Qur’an presents them as a framework for worship and a sign of commitment to the faith. They are the shahada (creed),  daily prayers (salat),  fasting during Ramadan (sawm),  almsgiving (zakāt), and the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj) at least once in a lifetime.

The Majority Muslims agree on the essential details for the performance of these acts, but the Shi’a do not refer to them by the same name
